I like gift bags, because otherwise my presents from my husband are wrapped in a shopping bag. Gift bags are nice if the gift is small and lightweight, and needs to be carried somewhere. The gift bags don’t work as well for heavy gifts. But I’d do without gift bags before I’d do without modern appliances.

I have one email account that is for the junk emails. I use it whenever I order something online. It allows me to look at my receipts, but I can ignore it most of the time. I keep my user names & passwords on a database on my hard drive, really good for those rarely used ones. Setting up an account when you order something comes in handy if you want to track the progress of your order.

I’ve found having long hair and a convertible is not a good combination. Hair in my face, and gets tangled. Difficult to have a hat or scarf that will stay on in the wind, and will keep all of my hair from getting tangled. My husband has it easy with his lack of hair. (Although, if the trip is more than an hour, he’ll get sunburned.)

Probably horseflies. Look just like houseflies, but much larger. We’ve been fighting a recent home invasion of them. I finally put sticky fly traps on the windows they like best. Thankfully, they don’t bite. However, I have gotten some that have attacked me.

It is interesting watching the evolution of drivers. My husband used to insist on driving most of the time (thinks he’s the best driver on the road). However, he had to teach our sons to drive, so got used to being a passenger. He took a job that required him to drive a lot, so now he rarely takes the wheel, if someone else in the family can drive. I’ll take the wheel for an hour or so, to give him a break, but for long road trips, he does much better at not getting “highway hypnosis”.
